replicas don't come in the proper sizing and offsets for the z.

the sizes they make are for hondas and little sport compacts.

Katana VR-5.

R1-racingsports GTR-5R

Both widest is 7.5 though..so if u do plan on getting them, u might have to use spacers in the back to get staggered setup. But im not sure if it will work cause alot of people say for 18s..minimum width is 8.

No flaming here...IMO, VOLKS are nice but not the only one. And seems too many people are obssessed with the "Name". Like they are getting a hard on when they hear or see one!

well thats fine, no reason you need high end rims, but you dont find 8" wide 19" rims for cheap. it doesnt happen often; and when it does apparently GTC isnt a popular design to immitate.

and the volk name indicates volk quality. its getting more rare to find this actually happen. but its not the only rim manufacturer, but the others are not much cheaper if at all.

Sorry to upset the 350z ethics police, but i can't justify spending over 5500 bucks on tires and rims. maybe 5 more years when the cars payed off, but when ur paying a grand a month for the car, and only making 2 grand a month it's a little hard to afford the volks. But i do enjoy the looks of the ADR X-Factors, what do u folks think of them???
